/THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

TORONTO, Oct. 25, 2017 /CNW/ - Cautivo Mining Inc. (CSE:CAI) ("Cautivo" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that its Peruvian subsidiary, Sociedad Minera San Miguelito S.A.C. ("San Miguelito"), has received the Supreme Decree by which it is enabled to acquire and develop 18 of the 33 existing or pending concessions that were held by Minera Ate S.A.C. ("Minera Ate"). Under Article 71 of the Peruvian Constitution, foreign individuals (including Peruvian-domiciled companies owned ultimately by overseas investors) must obtain permission from the President of the Republic and the Council of Ministers, in the form of a Supreme Decree, in order to hold any type of concession over property located within 50 kilometers of any of Peru's national borders.

Having received these Supreme Decrees, San Miguelito has elected to exercise its right to acquire these 18 concessions, which cover a total area of 13,576 ha, from Minera Ate for the aggregate amount of US$1.2 million. Pursuant to an existing option agreement between San Miguelito and Minera Ate, the amount payable in respect of the acquisition of these concessions will be satisfied entirely through a reduction of the advances made by San Miguelito in respect of these concessions. Accordingly, no cash consideration will be paid to Minera Ate in connection with the acquisition.

As a result of this transaction, San Miguelito now has a 100% interest in 25 of the 43 existing or pending concessions that comprise the Las Lomas Project. The remaining 15 existing or pending concessions held by Minera Ate and an additional 3 existing concessions currently held by a third party, with which Minera Ate holds an outstanding mining option contract, must still receive the Peruvian Government's Supreme Decree before they can be acquired by San Miguelito.
